###Change Log
**Expanded Without Source**
API requests for expanded data no longer require a source field. While you can still name a source, it is not required.
*Impact*: Currently, users requesting expanded data without identifying a source are receiving standard data only. As of 12/8/2015, those requests will return standard and expanded data. This may increase the response time of your requests since you will receive more data.
**Historical Expanded Data**
Due to the process required to supply expanded data without source, we cannot provide historical expanded data before November 1st, 2015. Going forward, requests for expanded data collected before November 1st will return the standard object. If you need expanded data created before this date, please contact our support team.
**Date Format**
We recently detected an issue which allowed incorrect date formats to be presented in a request. Dates are once again restricted to ISO8601 formats. We'll request that users present dates in the following formats:
* YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss-hh:mm or YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ
**Fields Added to Response**
The following fields have been added:
* “water” appears as default field for Routine
* "activity_category" added to Fitness
* “validated” appears as default field. Customers using the validated flag do not need to make any changes, we will just ignore the flag.
**New Documentation**
We have overhauled all API documentation​ to include:
* Updated code samples
* Updated design
* New Getting Started Guide
* Honestly, it's almost all new- we hope you enjoy, but understand change is hard.
